Bravery and Greed

I came for the local 4-player support, but stayed to play it alone. This is one of the relatively few games that is fun with friends and also great fun alone. It is also really good looking - perfect pixel art. At least for an old guy that grew up with the Commodore C-64 and Amiga machines. My first test was alone, I enjoyed it a lot. In the evening my wife joined me, it was chaotic and also fun. On the weekend two of my kids joined us - oh my god, what chaotic fun! One caveat, though - the main game mode - Adventure - is not a casual party game with 3 minute round duration. This is a full-blown roguelite hack and slash game, which needs to be played over a longer time and with (more or less) experienced and dedicated players. For casuals, there is a platform brawler mode (either FFA or team based) and there is a simple horde defense mode. The adventure mode, though, needs a bit more dedication to play. You have to find four runes to unlock the portal to the Dwarfen Fortress... rumored to be full of gold to loot.

Hey gang! Glad to be here! My name is Ivann, a French dude and 50% of Rekka Games, the two man video game studio responsible for Bravery and Greed, a roguelite dungeon brawler  which is to be released on the 15th of November (yes, it'll be available tomorrow or right now, depending on when you read this). At a young age, I remember experimenting with Pixel Art on my old Atari ST with software like Neochrome, making my first sprites for something called “Shoot'em up Construction Kit”. But of course back then (early 90s) this was not considered a viable career choice, so this was just a hobby. I was also really into music and guitar, but this would also be a totally irrational move career wise. Overall, I was afraid that doing something I loved as a job would end up making me hate it in the long run, so I thought I should not worry my family and settle on a “real” career.
